Absolutely brilliant entry Dean. Incredible wording and image. Message clear and concise. Nice rhyming here and there and alliterations as well. One fantastic entry.

I like the rapid fire cadence to this. I am very excited about this style of poem. Each line seemed to flow into the next even though they were short. Then it transpired into something else. Very emotional effect as the war is described. Gret job.

Dean, Excellent job on this one. I think you nailed the prompt to a tee. Depressing subject matter but oh so true. I don't think we will ever learn. Too many people think they are right and everyone else is wrong. Sad but true. Good read. Judy

Dean: I had never even heard of this type of poem before now. I've read it twice and it is really a fun ride! It is almost like a game; begin reading and read faster and faster keeping up the tempo while reading each word. Fascinating. The pictures are of war and death . . . back into your dark area. I was not open to checking each line to ensure you had what word on what line, but, overall I enjoyed the trip on that roller coaster. Linda

Wow, that was a true blitz poem. The words were running across the page and I loved each of the rhyming verses. You do have a certain genius about you. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, Dean, you are certainly a champ. I read it very fast and felt the excitement build. Cleaver ending and so true. You've got my vote. Smiles,
Robin :) I'm out of sixes or you would have that too. :)

Great job, Dean, with your Blitz poem. It blitzes down the page with repetition of words that stress the horrors of hate and death that come from wars. Last picture especially adds to the tone of despair. Sorry I didn't have a sixer.

Great and imaginative poem Dean, I love the progression you've made in your poem from starkness to horror, you've covered the whole gamut of horror humankind can experience in this line up, well written, good luck in this contest, Dean, blessings, Roy.

Fabulously dramatic and apt (though necessarily disturbing) verbs to describe the usually unnecessary horror of war, Deano.
Top tumbling of words, and your ending infers, at least to me, it's the family who are left bereft and 'alone', whereas the soldiers have hopefully gone to a far better place and won't have to suffer any more grief and pain.
Cheers, Ray
